May 24, 2011 Mrs. BurkeYearbook AdvisorBoone High School2000 South Mills AvenueOrlando, FL 32806 Dear Mrs. Burke: Perhaps the Legend is seeking to recruit the talent of someone who can grasp the complex concepts, work independently and contribute to the success of a publication. If this is the case, then please accept the fol-lowing resume for your review and consideration for the position of People Editor for the 2011-2012 school year. As a current staffer, I have learned to write and take constructive critisms effectively, interview numerous amounts of people, manage an urgent deadline and photo various events whether it be sports or different school spirited projects. All of these qualities have helped me in other aspects of my life outside of publica-tions including other clubs in which I play a role of leadership in. I enjoy working closely with people and can work well in a group with delegated tasks assigned and can also reinforce the delegating myself if need be. I have been ‘shadowing’ the current People Editor this year to help and learn what her job really entails and witness how much time and energy she puts forth. Byknow these minor details, I feel as if I am qualified because I do know what goes into this position and already can assure you that I am willing to accept the work load. Although the accompanying resume illustrates my background well, I feel a personal interview would better demonstrate my knowledge and abilities. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you at a convenient time. Thank you for you review and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Respectfully yours, Channa Harrington Enclosed: resumè

Personal Essay
Journalism has mixed emotions with me. I admire the eth-ical values it obtains for that is a very important fac-tor, however, the writing portion, for me at least, is very difficult and I’m not exactly sure why. I have always loved writing but in the story book kind of way. Writing from a journalistic approach is a challenge in the fact that sometimes I forget to focus on one particualr event that made the season a success, and I generalize the season as a whole. I was originally in T.V production and absolutely love it and decided to sign up for T.V 2, however soon realized that it wasn’t my forte and wanted to switch to something else. My guidance counselor recommended me for journalism since she noticed my past English classes. To succeed in my journalism class, I had to read sample articles whether it be in the yearbook or newspaper pro-vided at school. Seeing examples really helped me know what the instructor would like to see and diffrent ways to achieve it.
Self-Analytical Evaluation
This has been a whirlwind of a year regarding all the prep and work effort and stress that had to be put into the production of this years book. I have learned what it takes to publish a real life book! I especially learned skills from Carey Ilgenfritz and Tori Lai, who really helped me out a lot with body copy and helping me with interviews. It was nice to have an experienced staffers as well as editors share their guidance. I have also learned that staying on task with your deadline is key for not accumulating stress in room 224. These skills can definitely be used in future work atmospheres as well as in daily life because of the contact with people and the need to work well together with them and the notion of meeting your deadlines on time in order to complete a project or just making sure that its turned in.
Reflection #1
I picked Bred for Success becuase this was my favor-ite story to compose since I used to be a competitive horseback rider as well. This was also the first piece, that particular deadline, that went to majors so I was really proud of myself. At first, it was hard to grasp a concept that worked and told Lisa Hermosa’s ris-ing career as a rider, yet was still interesting enough to form a story out of. The finished piece look great and I felt the pictures and copy turned out, it re-ally described everything it needed to. To make this piece a success however, I pretty much stayed in con-stant contact with Lisa, always interviewing her for more quotes or texting or e-mailing her for more in-formation or clarification of the types of competitions she performed in and so on. I feel that if I had only interviewed her a few times, or hadn’t kept asking her questions, the story would not have been as well-rounded and informed as it is now.
Reflection #1(First Draft)
Reflection #1(Final Draft)
Relfection #4
I feel as if I was an asset because of the time and dedi-cation that I, as well as the other staffers, put in to the making of the yearbook. I remember the very first deadline I was assigned was Brand vs. Brand and was paired with Carly. It was difficult for her to write the 3 paragraphs yet I stayed almost everyday after school to COB numerous pic-tures of food and designed surveys to make the page look as best as it could. It was all completed, however, I feel like that showed my dedication from the very beginning and the amount of my time and effort I was willing to put forth. Also, the interest I took in knowing what the next step would be. For example, I ‘shadowed’ Carey through her ventures as people editor, and really got inside knowledge what she did and the amount of time and effort she put into it. Knowing this, I feel like next year even, I might be one step ahead and not completely lost and overwhelmed.
Reflection #5
I think that my biggest hardship that I faced this year was writing a story that didn’t get resubmitted. For some rea-son, almost all of my stories, such as bowling and the profile on Erin Webb, were never up to par on the first edits. But I learned to take those ‘re-subs’ and use them as construc-tive criticism when I figured out that the editors were not out to make our lives miserable, they were only trying to help us improve and make the book as pristine as they would imagine it to be. Now I’m not saying that I didn’t shed a few tears when I saw the ink splattered across my page in the beginning of the year but by the end, I knew that meant that the editors were’t trying to ridule my writing, they were just trying to help me improve.
Reflection #6
I believe that I answered staying on task and focusing on getting my work done for the day. I do like to talk and vis-it with people, however, it has caused my deadline to slowly creep up until it finally hits me that i need to do some work. I do feel that I have improved this since then. Writing ‘to-do’ lists really helped because of the simpleness of writ-ing down a task and checking it off rather than sitting and overwhelming my self with the endless possibility that it will never be completed.
Reflection #7
This photo should be admitted becuase of the diffrent form that the bowler held showing a unique style and in-teresting angle. The bowling ball is a great center visual of interest because of the bright pink color, drawing the viewers’ eye towards it.
Y.16 pg. 116-117 Bowling
Reflection #7(two)
Y.6 pg. 226-227
This profile has vast amount of coverage of this sport covering cost, how-to’s, and personal stories that will give the reader a more personal feel for the sport rather than just a factual information.. I also really like the sec-ondary coverage on this page. Using the step-by-step method of how to tackle a horse is really informative and could actually be done following those steps.
Reflection #7(three)
I really like the secondary coverage on this page. Using the step-by-step method of how to tackle a horse is really in-formative and could actually be done following those steps. It looks great on the page, breaking upw the pictures and body copy and giving the layout a young, modern appeal.

Reflection #2(Final)
Reflection #3
I am so proud of this picture because it was one of the only sports photos I took that is not blurry. This picture follows the rule of thrids since its not exactly center, and it fills the frame. I would say that the ball is the center of visual interest because of its bright color and the wonder of where it’s going. My favorite part of this picture is the way she is posed. It is such a great angle and doesn’t look like an ordinary bowling picture.
